I'd love to hire you!, where are you located? or working areas?

Just beautiful! so clean, so accurate, a true professional.

Do you listen to music while you are working whether earbuds or speaker?

Just because that one didn't fall, doesn't mean you shouldn't use structural connectors: www.google.com/search?q=deck+collapse

I mean, even ground contact treated will rot in the ground. It'll take years though, clearly. So I wouldn't expect this to last 20 years, but great job and glad you're enjoying it! Hope it lasts many more years!

nice one, I want to do it too

Evidence of homeowners doing their own work... or fraudulent contractors...

you are certainly inspirational. thank you for taking the time to show your building projects

Great framing! I do have a question - how will the drywall be installed in a perfect point if there’s the lvl beam in the middle and the rafters are going to it but not underneath it in a pointed shape? I’m asking because I have a similar ceiling and I’d like the drywall to be pointed with no flat part so I wanna make sure my framing is correct. Thanks! :)

People who know nothing about load transfer or framing build like that.

We always set up scaffolding to do this. Much safer and well worth the investment

From all of us dodge owners lol. Thank you very much sir. Just got done fixing mine

my garage is in the same boat, ill have to try this method while also replacing my main header. a contractor before me used 2 separate pieces of lumber for it so naturally, ive been watching that gap grow bigger and bigger. Great video!

It’s a mid 80’s nightmare 😂

Definitely didn't use the proper hangers! Ive seen plenty of 20+ year old hangers still doing their job proper! Cant make an accusation based solely off ONE JOB, where they obviously didn't use proper materials!

Yeah ,that's hardly a "deck." It looks like a minimum spec back porch built 60 years ago. You should have looked underneath.You lazy bum.

Diaz construction

Sweet job, it looks amazing!!!

When installing the sill plates do you inset them 1/2” from the edge of the slab so the sheathing ends up flush with the slab? Or does sill plate sit flush with slab and sheathing hangs over 1/2”? Not sure how I should do it and wanna get it right

It’s designed to flex like a bridge and be soft under foot 😂

Did you use 2x8s for the decking?

So the boards that are on the outside band that go into the dirt, are you not worried about them rotting?

It’s not spanning enough to matter really

Man I'm over here building a 6x8 chicken coop and 16 foot run in like 8 days and this guy solo's a whole garage lol, damn

How about both. Science doesn't lie.

3. Half marathon, training is best when the ground is FLAT. I would have put the H clips in and gone thicker OSB....that little bit ofo materials - even 16" on center really is a marginal increase in material costs, right ? IDK, maybe I am wrong in my thinking. To me, getting this done in 10-15 days in winter, that's a win !

Why would you be building back on top of it if your are supposed to demo it?

Isn't it wild how the word "demo" means to either present something or destroy something. I'm sure that causes disastrous consequences once in a while

Do you work out of S.E. Michigan? I want to do a similar garage addition but stretch it longer not wider.

Great job, and a 3 from me! :)

I'd say the reason they used hangers is that it looks difficult if not impossible to backnail the joists that have hangers. The rim joist needs to be bolted to the 4x4 too. Not to swift.

The buddies and a 30 pack who took home the scrap wood from the job site. 😂😂 Good Times

Grandpa used what he had. They enjoyed it and it lasted.

The little pink hammer!

So let's see the video of how you fix it....

Three!

I have never seen anything like this. I built several decks and done repairs on others. Thank you for this information.

Looks like pallet construction!

I looked like shipping pallets. But it worked.

Hi great video thanks for sharing what is the ceiling height? thank you

It’s like attaching cotton to metal I beams. Eventually the cotton is gonna get weak before the steel.

what a great job well done

Excellent! Thx for the insights and inspiration!

Looks like some chick who watched a yt diy video.

No outdoor carpet it would still be fine STFUAWTD
